Found this fabric online and loved it even more when it arrived.
It’s quite a heavy cotton with thick embroidery.
This was a self design. I wanted to do pleats instead of gathering but didn’t have enough width to make the pleats all the way round
Very happy with the turn out. Something prettty to wear any day.

Wow! The dress really shows off the beautiful fabric. Does the fabric get warm when you wear it? I have to be careful with heavy cottons because I sweat in them (and live in Florida).
